Capstone Papers Examine Important Healthcare Issues

HLTH 890: Healthcare Strategic Management is the capstone course for the MHA Program.

It reflects the reality that healthcare leaders and managers must be able to continuously identify, evaluate and address the full range of important external and internal issues and opportunities facing their organizations. This is particularly true in this time of rapid and radical changes in the healthcare industry.

Prescribe what strategies and actions have the potential to best address the issues.

Implement chosen strategies and actions.

For the final project in HLTH 890, each student must conduct an in-depth Research Project on a healthcare organization or component of one or on a healthcare strategy-related issue and/or challenge, or to develop a Strategic Plan for a healthcare organization or component of one. Each Research Project is presented in a final report of approximately 25 pages, the same length as each Strategic Plan.
